In addition to our board of directors and staff we also have a fantastic group of discount employees. These individuals donate a couple of hours a week to help around the store and in return receive a 20% discount on their in-store purchases. Their jobs vary, depending on the time of day. Each day someone helps the staff open the store, and each evening someone helps the staff close the store. There are also various tasks during the day depending on skill, interest, and schedules. Some help with paperwork and filing, some with website maintenance, and others making sure the shelves are stocked throughout the day.
